Deep Ocean AmberSpicy Amber Eau de Parfum

Deep Ocean Amber by Sospiro is a spicy floral amber eau de parfum, unisex, created by Christian Provenzano. The house brings it to life from shaded depths: it rises with a calm magnetism and envelops with an intimate warmth.

Nine ingredients, not one more

It is the most tightly composed fragrance in the Classica Collection: two ingredients in the top, two in the heart, three in the base. Sospiro, founded in Italy in 2011, claims to compose in movements rather than a single accord — here, each movement consists of two or three notes, making the fragrance readable from beginning to end.

An opening of elemi and ambrette

The opening combines elemi, a lemony and peppery resin from the Philippines, with ambrette, a musky and slightly vegetal seed. Two rare ingredients at the start, where most would use a citrus.

A heart of violet and styrax

The heart contrasts the transparent and powdery violet with styrax, a dark and slightly leathery balm. This contrast between the flower and the resin is the entire subject of the fragrance.

A base of benzoin, labdanum and ambergris

The base is made only of resins and amber: vanilla benzoin, tart labdanum extracted from rockrose, and ambergris. The trail becomes deep, salty and remarkably persistent.

The house's signature

Sospiro presents itself as the world's first niche house and dresses its Classica Collection in velvet bottles finished, it says, like a butterfly wing — the butterfly is its emblem. Christian Provenzano, who created this one, is the house's historic master perfumer, with over fifty years of experience.

For whom, for what occasions?

Amber, spicy and floral, Deep Ocean Amber is for those who love resinous ambers rather than sweet ones. A unisex eau de parfum for evenings, winter and dinners.
